Word Filled Wednesday–Love Never Fails

WFWlogo

In the homeschool Bible curriculum my son is using, he (we) are memorizing I Corinthians 13.  Every morning, we cuddle together on the couch and read this passage together:  As we read out loud this characteristics of love again and again, I seek to grasp in my mind and heart and yearn to express this love that is so pure, so good and so selfless. 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.                   I Corinthians 13:4-7

February is a perfect month to meditate on “LOVE”.  The more of God’s Word that goes into our hearts, the more of Him that is expressed through our words, actions and attitudes.  Although it seems daily I struggle to be patient, kind and practice the ‘does not's of love, I have a hope and belief that His love is continuing to grow in me and through me….and His love never fails.

  1. yes, it's fantastic to look at love! That's great about your son memorizing it, I should do that with my kids for a verse to learn! We've been doing shorter ones, but that would work well for Valentines! thanks for the great idea!

  9. I was reminded by those verses of a poem I once wrote but do not appear to have it in my file.
    The one you love belongs to Christ
    And stands complete in Him
    Here is your hope and here your Joy
    When life if cold and grim......etc.

    I must find it and put it in the file.....I think the last line is not quite accurate. But it was good to reflect on God's love giving character to those we love.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
